Does NetSenX read PROFINET, OPC UA or IEC 60870-5-104?

Not today. NetSenX reads five industrial protocols, Modbus/TCP, DNP3, BACnet/IP, EtherNet/IP and S7comm, from passive capture, from the Pro plan. Other industrial traffic on a monitored segment is still seen as connections between hosts: beaconing, scanning, lateral movement and unusual outbound volume still apply, and the network map still lists the devices. What is missing is the decoding of that protocol's commands, so the OTOT: operational technology. The computers that run machines, production lines, building systems and utilities. alerts for writes and commands do not cover it. If your plant runs mainly on PROFINET, OPC UA or the IEC 60870-5-104 telecontrol protocol, tell us before you buy and ask what would be covered on your network, or pair NetSenX with a tool that decodes those protocols. It is better to know this now than to find the gap during an audit.
